He’s missed at least two essential nutrients that made it onto my list- iron and sulfur- and I don’t think his judgment on non-essential nutrients is very good either
After three months I should be finding deficiencies, and I did. I started having joint pain and found I fit the symptoms of a sulfur deficiency. This makes perfect sense as I consume almost none, and sulfur is a component of every living cell. Sulfur is hard to miss in a typical diet so the FDA would have little reason to recommend it. A typical male physique has 140g of sulfur, making it the sixth most abundant element in the human body. Ten grams of sulfur from Methylsulfonylmethane cured me right away, and I now consume 2g/day...I have not experienced any other deficiency symptoms and am quite confident I am now getting everything I need, but I will keep testing.
Right, that was how I noticed he had missed it, as with the iron deficiency that he discussed in his first post. When I made my list of nutrients, I checked to make sure everything on his list was on my list, but didn’t think to do the reverse.
He says he’s added sulfur: http://robrhinehart.com/?p=570
